isn't there a big thing in Japanese culture where tanookis have huge balls (not figuratively)

very unrelated tangent (a tangent tangent?)I want to just say 'literally' but 'literally' now means 'literally (figuratively)' and saying 'literally literally' is more awkward than saying 'not figuratively' but saying 'not figuratively' makes grammar nerds angry at me so I added this random tangent to sate the grammar nerds

typing the spoiler title made my head hurt

comment on the very related tangentNah, if you used "literally" you would have helped the reputation of the word.

about your tangentWouldn't 'quite literally' be sufficient to get across the intended meaning of literally? Bear in mind, I'm not a native speaker so I have no clue if this is generally accepted.

Must be because Lemmy knows I'm right and there aren't any issues with my argument ๐Ÿ˜Ž
